I too was smitten by nethack, and now find regular hack very boring. To
compensate I took and hour and put the source to nethack on a hard disk
and tried making a Lightspeed C project out of the mess.  It keeps choking
on a bit of code that looks like

#if define(KOPS) && define(I forget)

It was really a waste of time because I'll never get enough time to finish
the job.  The only hope of recouping the effort is finding out why
it bombed on the above line......
